John Gill
As thou hast given him power over all flesh,.... All men, in distinction from angels; and these as fallen, as weak, frail, sinful, and mortal creatures; men of every nation, Jew or Gentile, and of every character, elect or non-elect: not but that he has also a power over angels; nor is his power over men limited to their "flesh" or bodies, but reaches to their spirits or souls also: which power...
Matthew Henry
This chapter is a prayer, it is the Lord's prayer, the Lord Christ's prayer. There was one Lord's prayer which he taught us to pray, and did not pray himself, for he needed not to pray for the forgiveness of sin; but this was properly and peculiarly his, and suited him only as a Mediator, and is a sample of his intercession, and yet is of use to us both for instruction and encouragement in...

By his death, Christ obtained power over all flesh; his death had some relation to every man, but the special object of it was the salvation of the elect. The purpose of the shower is to water one...

Charles H. Spurgeon
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him Here we have both the universality and the speciality of the work of divine mercy. Christ has power over all flesh, men are in the power of the one Mediator, but there is this special object ever before him: “that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. Notice the doctrine of this verse.

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou, hast given him.

Charles H. Spurgeon
As thou has given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou has given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom though hast sent. See how he puts himself side by side with God as no mere man might dare to do. Only he who was equal with the Father could venture to plead thus, claiming power over all flesh,...

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. In that saying of our Lord we have an explanation of what he did by his redemption.

Charles H. Spurgeon
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. Some people seem unable to see that there is perfect harmony between the general and the particular aspects of Christ’s atonement.

Charles H. Spurgeon
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. I think this verse is a solution of the problem about general redemption and particular redemption. Christ, by his death, has obtained power over all flesh. There is a universality about his redemption, but the object of it still was that he should give eternal life to “as many as thou...
